A dimensionless number describing the effects of recharge and geometry on discharge from simple karstic aquifers
[1] The responses of karstic aquifers to storms are often used to obtain information about aquifer geometry. In general, spring hydrographs are a function of both system geometry and recharge. However, the majority of prior work on storm pulses through karst has not studied the effect of recharge on spring hydrographs. To examine the relative importance of geometry and recharge, we break karsti...
متن کاملUAS-Based Change Detection of the Glacial and Proglacial Transition Zone at Pasterze Glacier, Austria
Glacier-related applications of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in high mountain regions with steep topography are relatively rare. This study makes a contribution to the lack of UAS applications in studying alpine glaciers in the European Alps. We transferred an established workflow of UAS-based change detection procedures to Austria’s largest glacier, the Pasterze Glacier. We focused on a sel...
متن کاملHolocene alpine glaciation inferred from lacustrine sediments on northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
With accelerated melting of alpine glaciers, understanding the future state of the cryosphere is critical. Because the observational record of glacier response to climate change is short, palaeo-records of glacier change are needed. Using proglacial lake sediments, which contain continuous and datable records of past glacier activity, we investigate Holocene glacier fluctuations on northeastern...
متن کاملDetermination of karst aquifer characteristics using physicochemical parameters (A case study from west of Iran)
The karstic Rijab Spring with an average discharge of 3290 l/s is located in the Alvand River basin in the northwest of the Zagros, Iran, which drains Asmari formation. To investigate groundwater flow in the catchment area of the Spring, the physicochemical parameters include major cations and anions, discharge, EC, pH, and temperature were studied from September 2000-2002. The results indicate...
متن کاملMonitoring tropical debris-covered glacier dynamics from high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry, Cordillera Blanca, Peru
The glaciers of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, are rapidly retreating and thinning as a result of climate change, altering the timing, quantity and quality of water available to downstream users. Furthermore, increases in the number and size of proglacial lakes associated with these melting glaciers is increasing potential exposure to glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Understanding how these ...
